Ruy Cunha, the chief executive officer of Lavoro, stated, “I would like to thank Laurence for his financial counsel and dedication to Lavoro over the last two years, especially as we completed our business combination with TPB Acquisition Corp. I and became a stand-alone, U.S.- listed public company. On behalf of the board of directors and leadership team, we wish him well in his next endeavor.”

“We are excited to have Julian join our leadership team at Lavoro," said Mr. Cunha.
